Pat Summitt said, "It just depends on how much it means to you."
"You can't be afraid to go out and compete and do whatever it takes."
You get results when your commitment is greater than what you feel.
It means perseverance, consistency, and focus.
Today is Report Day! Year 3 at App State and year 14 as a college coach. I always take time to reflect on the season ahead before it starts, and every year I’m reminded of an article I wrote in 2018. This is still my hope for my athletes. Happy VB season!

Title IX was literally passed into law in order to protect women. Today it wasn't just rewritten ... it was reversed. This is not a political issue. This is a common sense issue. This is a safety issue. This is a biological issue.

Mental strength isn’t about being perfect, it’s about being resilient.
Everyone makes mistakes, but the toughest players have a refusal to lose enthusiasm or quit in response to challenges.
Have the mentality that you’re never down, you’re either up or getting up.
Don’t do good things for attention.
Don’t do good things for credit.
Don’t do good things for praise.
Do good things to do good things, to make an impact, to serve others.
Humility is the way.

Mental toughness requires thick skin. Don’t be easily offended by what coaches, teammates, opponents, analysts, and fans say. Take control of your mindset so you can stay positive and focused no matter what others say to you.
LEADERS: Decide if you want to win games or win a popularity contest.
If you really want to win games, you must sometimes do unpopular things like push people out of their comfort zone and hold them accountable.
Decide what's more important, being a champion or being popular.
